…As experts say top IT skills, the new passport

Four Nigerian youth techies and scholars have captured half scholarship packages worth N40.4m to subsidize their schooling in the United Kingdom, along with a Nigerian component worth N8m.

The hunt for the subsidy ended Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at the Bougainvillea Hotel on Sani Abacha Road in the GRA section of Port Harcourt where Aptech’s Career Quest draws were held.

The exercise was witnessed by Favour Ugbaja, Senior Admissions Officer at Middlesex University, West Africa office in Lagos; and Kallol Mukherjee, Aptech International Business Head and Executive Vice President. Others were Sajan Rohan Suvarna (COO Raptors Group) and Sumit Sharma (head of operations, Raptors Group), that manage the Aptech facility.

The lucky techies who bagged the UK half scholarship were Mmesoma Ifeoma Alozie and Eleazar Udo, who would proceed to Middlesex University at half of the 17,200 British Pounds for their degree courses or whatever course level they are eligible for.
